Here's my character in KoA's demo(pic taken with an iPhone up close, so its not as clear as if screen capped)-

[Teddie Sage]

Silent characters... Err... I don't mind my character being silent in Skyrim because I play in first person view. But in this kind of game, where you see your protagonist, a character without a voice for me is kinda lazy. The reason why I got frustrated about this demo's absent jumping system is because I tend to play rogue type characters who jump around a lot and are mostly in stealth mode. Both in Oblivion and Skyrim, I had fun sneaking around monsters and NPCs, climbing up places just to get better angles... In this demo, it felt like a huge regression to my game style.

It seems like the kind of game where you'll have to grind a lot to learn your stuff, plus your equipment will all degrade with time, so forging and repairing your stuff will become a requirement for everyone. This will turn off a good bunch of Skyrim players for many reasons. If this game got released around God of War's release, it would've been a huge hit. But since Skyrim spoiled us that much in America, every other game made just seems obsolete and a waste of my time. It will probably please a bunch of retro-gaming fans, but I simply can't bring myself to enjoy a game that claims to be open-world while you feel stuck on the floor all the time in narrow corridors.

This game was supposed to rival Skyrim but its not even in the same league, it doesn't encourage exploration like Skyrim does it doesn't have the same freedom as Skyrim. The writing for KOA is just immature fantasy compared to Skyrim's more mature approach, it actually serves to highlight that Skyrim's writing is actually quite good.   

Supposed to rival Skyrim, really? According to whom?

Yeah, NO ONE said that. Don't know where Morroian got that from.

Why anyone would think a brand new IP's first outing would rival the 5th TES game is asinine.

I know, right?

If you want Skyrim, go play your Skyrim and stay convinced it's the only truly open-world game out there.

I'll keep my Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning and Sacred 2. ^^

The combat in Reckoning is much more to my tastes than Skyrim. Reckoning has more flashy lights and

I'll tell you what, if Skyrim had a demo, I would not have bought the game.

Did you say that top part about DA:O? Just wondering here.

And speak for yourself on Skyrim. I love how people throw the word "Us" around as if we were a giant hive mind. For once I would like for someone to say how skyrim is so better when all it gave us was a bigger more pretty world. (actully no bigger than oblivions, just better use of the space.)

The NPC's are Dull, hell you see more emotion in fable (any of them) and thats sad, least in those games the NPC you marry says more than "Hello my love, good bye my love", the Combat is stale, the game mechanics broken, just run into a sword, body, well anything and watch it fly into the wild blue yonder, hit a few hills, do some flips, etc. AI is also by and large unresponsive. Put buckets on someones head and strip them? haha good day sir would you like to rent a room.

Hell I've walked up to bandits, talked to them, then had to kill them. The quests also on the side, while not bad in some areas *dark brotherhood* are a step down from oblivion's. So I'ld really like to hear how this game spoiled us?

And you can't use, bigger world, its pretty (which NPCs are while not as bad still ugly as sin) no epic chiors, no Meme's, nothing about the Dragons. The game in several areas is still  behind others. Hell even the radiant AI ended up being a joke.

Skyrim is a good game, no doubts there, but it by no means "Changed the world of gaming" or spoiled anyone. Hell its just an improved Oblivion. And still has a mountian of bugs, which are ONLY dismissed because of the fans going "Well its a big game" If I built a building, a skyscraper, that the elevators stoped in periodically, or it leaked, or the carpet sucked you into the floor, I would be pretty harshly judged, if not thrown into prison. I enjoy Skyrim, but I know how to see when something is built up with hype.

I still don't see how Skyrim won game of the year, it's really not that great.

[Teddie Sage]

That "us" represents the category of people who were disappointed, Ken. Don't take it personally. Thanks for sharing your opinion too, anyway.

Well weren't many great games this year, were a handful but they weren't well known, and that always hurts a games chances, I can name alot of N64 games back in the day as good as Zelda and Mario, but none of them were on the pop charts, and so they didn't win.

As to skyrim its in general surrounded in hype. Hell I don't know how "arrow to the knee" took off.
 
Great game, but in no means revoltionary. Sure it is by ES terms. But yeah. welcome to where you should have been five years ago, minus in your gfx.

A good number of Elder Scroll veterans argued for item repair to be present in Skyrim before release.  Only a new player to the series would think no item degradation is the standard.

I think Batman:Arkham City is much better then Skyrim, in fact I think I liked Oblivion better when it comes to the quests.

Haven't played it, and I agree 100% on the quests, The main quest for skyrim is better, but the side quests leave alot to be desired, well minus the Mage sidequest, I found those to be better in Skyrim, still I just don't get how anyone thinks syrim is some sort of revolution, yeah for TES games it is, in general? No.

Aye, you'ld spend alot of gold, or hammers doing that, so in that respect it should drawn in TES fans from the older groups, as should its larger and branching leveling tree system.

Item degradation is sooo gonna bug me eventually, but I'll try to stock up on Repair Kits.

Now then-

People are telling me they've found Faeblades and Chakrams in the demo.

WHERE!?

I know for a fact they are in the cave at the first little pond/lake you come to. Not hard to find, the former is a rouge weapon, the later a mage.

[RamirezWolfen]

I played the demo. It's pretty good, but I'll save my money for the Jak and Daxter HD Collection instead, but only because I'm a fanboy. I love the colors in this game, it just feels so vivid. Also, I didn't have any problems when playing the demo, like some here have, but I was playing the PS3 version, not the PC.

Otherwise, good game so far, and I'll probably pick it up sometime in the summer.

Really. That early? GODDAMN IT.

I also found out you can buy them at the merchant/inn place, but I never checked before.

Played the demo PC and really like the game. Bought it! Though i have an hard time connecting to EA servers...it just won't connect.

WOOT. Sadface about the servers though.

[Raizo]

I tried the demo last night ( mostly just to get the promo items in ME3 ), I did not get a chance to finish the demo since I was playing it very late at night and I was very, very tired but so far the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning looks like a very good game, I am actually very tempted to buy the full game when it comes out. I do have a few issues with some of the attack animations but the interface feels very good, I like the graphics ( most of the time anyhow ) and I feel as if I've only seen a small portion of what this game has to offer.

[LPPrince]

I just wish the camera would always face where I was facing. ERGH.

Ken, if you mean the little area with the rats(immediately left out of the opening dungeon), I found neither chakrams nor faeblades there.

Games like this make it all the more apparent that we shouldn't have an across the board pricing system for videogames. KoA is worth getting, but not at the full 60 dollar asking price, I'd pay 30 for it and be satisfied. But not sixty, it's not worth it from what I've seen. The animations are bad, in fact I'm pretty sure I've played PS2 games with better animations, I found both stealth and sword gameplay to be boring, the menus are bad, and it's all wrapped up in an incredibly generic high fantasy land with an equally generic story. So incredibly generic that the bad guy has red eyes, spikey black armor, a pointy beard, and is laughing manically while the camera pans away from him. I'll get KoA because I had some fun, but I'm not getting at release, the fun I had did not make up for its downfalls. Too bad.

Here's how to get the Faeblades, they also sell for over 8000 gold, I had level 3 mercantile at the time of selling it and it was worth almost 10,000 gold:

When you enter Gorhart and talk to the guy standing over the Fae woman, follow the quest to the Sage, go back to the town to buy the Greater Healing potion which you can buy for 1200.  You'll actually have to do some wandering around and selling of items you find.

After you get the potion, you go back to Gorhart in the place with the healer and talk to the guy that gave you the quest again up the staircase to your immediate left when you enter.  He will direct you to the House of Ballads.  Go there and talk to the NPC highlighted and the quest will branch off to another quest.  Follow this quest and defeat the Thresher.  You find the Faeblades on the corpse of the person that died there which you're directed to after you defeat the thresher.

Agreed. It seems a little dated, to be honest. In fact, I said a little bit ago that it seemed like a cross between Fable and Devil May Cry, but it also reminds me of Champions of Norrath (a PS2 game). Great game, but it came out in 2004.

I'll wait a few months to buy it. Surely it will be cheaper by then.

Got my Faeblades! Yes.

Now all I need are Chakrams.

[Kbrury]

When it comes to graphics and bugs keep in mind they had to use an older build for the demo so what you saw is not the finished product. Anyways Reckoning is selling pretty well on Steam already, it was #1 yesterday and is currently #2 today.
